True Classic
Lots of us here on this forum love the rare wheels that often come up for sale. I have been collecting rare Fiat wheels for decades. I thought this would be a good place to discuss some of the rarest of them all. I have Campys and Chromodoras and lots of odd wheels. And you will see me sell sets on occasion. I recently added a set of rare wheels to the collection. They are so rare I Doubt most folks have ever heard of them let alone seen a set on a Fiat.:pc: Well here is a Teaser picture of the rare wheels. Lets see if anyone here recognizes them.:grin::eek:mg:

 
RUSPA!

Ruspa wheels, available in 13" & 14" versions. I used to have a 13" set on my 850 Sedan back in the early 1990's, then on an 850 Coupe. In the early 2000's I had a 14" set on my 128, then sold 'em to acquire the truly-rare Lombardi Momo's currently on the car. I might have a photo of the Ruspas on one of these cars - I'll have to check.

Edit: Ruspa on an 850 Coupe:




Even rarer than the Ruspa wheels themselves are the matching "R" centercaps :grin::



These wheels are fairly rare in the States these days (because nobody wants to sell theirs), but show up on eBay Italy once or twice a year, often reasonably priced, sometimes priced at a "crack-head" rate.
 
REALLY COOL TOPIC!!!

OMG, I had a huge wheel collection like most of us.. ha.. mostly because of racing needs, I had a lot of tires mounted. Perhaps I was a little OCD :)

I had many Momo's, some R&G (Rivi & Grimaldi), Fondmetal, and a few others..

I love vintage wheels on an X. I love Campagnolos, and of course the Cromodora Daytonas are sexy..


My dream right now would be to have a '74, in lime green, with Daytonas on it - that would be awesome!
 
I think the 74 would look best in green or that amazing 70s Orange with those Daytonas. OK folks post your pics of your wheels.

I have only 4 sets of really rare wheels so I will save a few for later in the thread...
 
Not CD30s

The wheels you have put a bid on are not CD30 design, but are CD16. See below...

Happened to a friend of mine a couple of weeks ago when he ran into a post at very low speed. Makes you wonder about the wisdom of using old wheels....

Does this make this CD30 into a CD15 ???? :)
 
I have never seen my wheels anywhere else before. These came on my 1985 that I bought in 2009. They are 15 x 7.5 with 4x98 bolt pattern, but are not hubcentric. Luckily you can get the hubcentric rings from our vendors.


 
Here are a few of mine...

I have a set of CD30s on the car and another set of Campys on the shelf above these. A set of brand new Revolutions and a few others. My son has a set of the turbine style wheels like on the bottom on his 78. We got wheels!

Great topic

I bought these wheels with this car in Jan '76. The PO bought them from Bayless in '74. They were made by Personnal (steering wheels).
